The Pallbearers (Shane Scully Novels)

The Pallbearers (Shane Scully Novels) : LAPD Detective Shane Scully was raised in an orphanage called Huntington House. There, he and a small group of kids were devoted to the home's director Walter "Pop" Dix. An avid surfer with a larger-than-life spirit, Pop was the father Shane never had. And now, thirty years later, he is gone . . . Pop is found dead, the victim of an apparent self-inflicted shotgun blast. He left a note naming six Huntington grads as his pallbearers. Shane is one of the chosen - but he doesn't believe Pop's death was a suicide. Now, along with the others, Shane embarks on a dangerous mission to unearth Pop's real killer. But the group discovers an unexpected adversary whose power and influence far exceed anything they could have imagined - violent, dangerous men who are determined to keep the truth about Pop's death under wraps . . . no matter who gets in their way.
